How data protection can benefit from artificial intelligence

As the attack surfaces of organisations has grown since lockdown took hold and employees migrated to remote devices, pre-pandemic data protection practices have since needed a revamp of methods. Increasingly, this has entailed the automation of processes, powered by technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), which is capable of making data protection more efficient if implemented properly. With this in mind, we take a look at some of the most valuable ways in which artificial intelligence lends itself towards data protection. This article will explore how artificial intelligence is set to impact organisations in the future, gauging the insights of experts in the space. Because AI relies heavily on data algorithms, organisations may feel hesitant about using the technology to aid data protection practices.
